    If the US falls there is only one place western capital can migrate to and that's Europe and with the steady rise of Far-right Euro parties we can already see the outline of a nationalist neo-imperial Europe potentially empowered by American capital flight and I see no evidence that Spain, France or Italy would ever align culturally and politically against their largest continental trading partners

    And the fact Europe is divided is a mute point, at the height of European imperialism Europe was far more fractured then it is today, that didn't stop the continent from dominating global politics

      During the height of European imperialism the only non-white power in the world was Japan. China is already second only to the US today in global power, and many non-white countries play major roles on the world stage.

        The economies of non-white countries still play a complementary role in relation to Europe and the anglosphere and Japan is no longer a global hegemon which leaves only China and India as the potential rivals, but no one is gonna claim India is gonna become a superpower with a straight face, China is outnumbered on all factors that actually matter
